I just started in adventure mode. Upon entering the world in my home village, an elf axe lord was standing around inside the closest building. As I left the building, the axe lord attacked me. I ran back inside and the elf lord started slaughtering all the farmers and peasants.

I'm guessing this elf was meant to be living in the village, but somehow now considers everyone unfriendly. Either that or my adventure begins when a hostile elf axe lord shows up one day and starts slaughtering everyone.

Edit: Yeah, definitely a bug. The humans are attacking each other too.

The Human Lye Maker stabs the Human Farmer in the head with his copper boning knife, tearing muscle, fracturing the skull and tearing the brain through the large sheep wool hood.A tendon in the skull has been torn!The Human Farmer has been knocked unconscious!Bujit Sanaabuth, Human Farmer has been struck down.

Toughest neighborhood ever? This is the first thing that happens when I show up in the world.

Human settlement which is apparently ruled over by an olm woman, with the title of "first gleam". And a female human high priest with the profession title "holy belch."

Then went down into the basement of the keep, found a dungeon with peasant and kobold skeletons. Pretty cool.

Then wandered over to an adjacent chamber with an open trench in it (sewers?). Suddenly got shot by multiple arrows, fell in and was promptly hacked to death by a bunch of elves armed with silver weapons. WTF?

Haha, I genned a world where there was a city with a vampire lord that everyone suspected but nobody had the guts to call out or do anything about it. Here I am, alone, looking for cool bling to buy, when I casually ask an elven merchant about services. He goes on about how the ruler of the city is a vampire, that pretty much everyone knows about it but does nothing. This vampire lady apparently killed 492 people throughout her days. So I set off to the keep, climb up to the top, confront this vampire empress in her quarters, strike up conversation and randomly accuse her of being a night creature. This room is full of what I assume are bodyguards, so right about now I'm half expecting her to laugh and sick her guards on me. Instead, she goes on for a while about all the people she's killed over the course of history, and politely advises I prepare to die.

It all went straight downhill from there.

Her guards suddenly jumped on this "vampire" monster that appeared in the room. I just stood there gaping in awe as this lord's loyal guards just tore her to pieces mercilessly. I talked to one of the guards after she finally bled to death, told him about my perilous battle to slay the evil vampire overlord, and they were so impressed they jumped aboard my party. From there on I was the hero of the land.

I genned a small world with a short history, and this is the world map.I think that's an abnormally huge mist, will continue to investigate.PS: It looked even bigger in the world gen screen and slowly spread out over time.
